Nikita - Season 3 - Craig Silverstein Teases upcoming Season

Aug 25, 2012

Thanks to Richard for the heads up.

Wetpaint Entertainment: Now that you're rebooting the show essentially, what does Season 3’s first episode look like?

Craig Silverstein: Episode one of Season 3 feels like a pilot. If you have never seen the show, you can come in. It's got all the continuity, we don't ignore any of it, but, at the same time, Nikita’s found herself in a completely different place, and we have a much clearer understanding about how they get their missions. Before, it was always, she's coming back to Division, how is it going to work week to week? Now, it's pretty clear.

Maggie insinuated that they're going to start taking out people from their past.

Sort of, kind of, yes. I mean they might not be people that they personally know, Division had agents spread all over the world. When Division was taken over, they got a message to come back in. And then they got another message from Amanda saying, “Nikita and the government's running it now. If you come back in, you'll be taken out.” About 30 people agreed with that and all broke off and went rogue, and are out there causing all manner of different havoc in the world with their special Division skills.

So that's who we're going after?

The dirty 30. That's what we're doing. Espionage freak of the week.

Apparently something happens very early on that we wouldn't expect until much later in the season? Can you tease anything about that?

The very first episode, I think, will satisfy a lot of Nikita fans… very romantic, nice.

  2. I am excited about it coming back but this is the second time I see him saying they will come back a more procedural style as they want people that never watched to tune in. While I understand that they need the viewers, I find that less appealing. But well, we'll wait and see. The awesome characters will still all be there!

  5. I agree, I also prefer serialized storytelling - that's what keeps me coming back to shows. If a show is a procedural, with a case-of-the-week every time, I get bored pretty fast (even good shows like Person of Interest). That being said, I get why they're going this route with Nikita - the ratings were horrible last season and they need to make the show friendly to new viewers. This way, you can jump in every week without prior knowledge of the plot.
    Still, the stuff I'm really looking forward to are the longer story arcs like Amanda coming back for revenge, Owen's mystery/agenda, the conflicts inside Team Nikita on how to run Division, Alex adjusting to her new fame, etc. Plus, this show has such strong characters (like you said) that it's still much better than any procedural.

  6. Yeah, I wonder how THAT's gonna work. Lyndsy Fonseca will be having flashbacks to Kick Ass, hehe.

  7. I agree with almost everything you've said. I like a very good procedural: Person of Interest for instance, and also Hawaii Five-0 and, to a lesser extent, Castle or Bones. I can't do a straight procedural such as NCSI or CSI but these shows are about something else and mix it with a procedural element, I can do those. However, as a general rule, I agree that serialized shows are much better than procedural shows, and I think Nikita's weakest episodes were its first ones back in season 1, in which they were very procedure like. This being said, it was still very enjoyable and now, together with that, we will also have all those amazing arcs you've mentioned, as well as characters we have already fallen in love with and who are awesome. As such, and considering the need for the ratings that you mentioned, I also understand why they are doing this, and I am still looking forward to it ;)
